Re: publish ftp files - howto

player_ · ‎02-16-2009

is there a way to publish ftp files like doing with winodws sharing?

i would prefer using a web bookmark, but it doesnt work...

I had a similar request and per Juniper support, they do not offer publishing FTP right now. Only UNC shares.

Sucks....

If there is a Java applet that could offer ftp functionality then you could leverage the 'Java applet upload" functionality of the SA.

There are several Java applets for ftp that are out there. I am in the process of testing some for one of my customers. No real results yet as I just finished the research and have done only minimal but here are some notes and early test result comments for anyone who is interested:

www.jscape.com/sftpapplet/index.html - commercial applet - available for trial downloads - supports ftp, sftp, ftps - tested as standalone Java applet - works as advertised

unlimitedftp.ca/products/unlimitedftp - commercial applet - available for trial downloads - supports - ftps, sftp - tested as standalone Java applet and as an applet through the SSL-VPN box - works as advertised

sourceforge.net/projects/j-ftp - freeware - supports sftp - not tested yet

Hi,

Does anyone has tested the freeware version?

Yves - yes, I finally got around to doing some basic testing on the applet. It worked very well. I uploaded the applet, built the html code using the code generator, substituted the code name which was documented in the readme file that came with it and ran it with no problems.

It ran fine - was able to specify ftp servers to connect to, connect and transfer files without a problem. I did not try and see if I could pass additional parameters like server name or IP or username but I found it to be a well written app!

I did the autogenerate html and there are some values that must be keyed in. I looked thru the sourcefourge jftp.jar documentation, but I didn't see anything. Below is the code. Can anyone provide any insight so that I can get this FTP Java stuff going?

<html>
<head>
<title> Applet</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>
<applet code="__PLEASE_SPECIFY__"
codebase="<< CODEBASE >>"
archive="jftp.jar"
width="640" height="480"

<param name="code" value="__PLEASE_SPECIFY__">

Hey Kendall - you are missing the "code" value - see below - works well!

<html><head><title>JFTP Applet</title><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"></head><!--
<body><applet code="net.sf.jftp.JFtpApplet"
codebase="<< CODEBASE >>" archive="jftp.jar"
width="640" height="480"
name="JFTP" align="top"><param name="code" value="net.sf.jftp.JFtpApplet"><param name="codebase" value="<< CODEBASE >>">

That worked! Now I get a blank white screen when I click on the bookmark. Am I supposed to staticly set the ftp server and resource? I have already created the autopolicy to allow port 20-21 to the ftp server.
